A great desire to travel and see the world.
Not all who wander are lost-
And as twenty year-old Nova Chase comes to learn, not all who are lost wander at first.
Nova has always been a stationary girl.
She grew up in a small town, with a close-knit group of friends, went to college nearby, and moved back as soon as she got her GenEd, and got a regular 9-5 job at the market.
She's never travelled, has never thought about moving away, and never fancied the idea of it, up until she starts questioning why she stays.
One thing leads to another, and Nova suddenly finds herself on the road, with nothing but a map, a car radio, and her backpack filled with odds and ends to keep her company.

F***in' Arizona
How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. 🙂 *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.
